Under the Roofs of Paris

1930. France. Directed by René Clair. Cinematography by Georges Périnal. Sets by Lazare Meerson. With Albert Préjean, Pola Illéry, Gaston Modot, Edmond Gréville. Clair’s first talkie is a charming, lyrical musical evocation of a magical Paris of
the mind, a Paris in a state of grace, long before Max Ophuls, François Truffaut, and even Jean Renoir. This print has no English subtitles. For a full plot synopsis, see curator Charles Silver's post on Inside/Out. In French; no subtitles. 95 min.
